2012 Chevrolet Sonic Review: First Drive
GM ReviewsView All Reviews
The world’s largest automaker, General Motors is comprised of four brands: Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC. Popular Chevy models include the Malibu and Cruze sedans, Equinox and Traverse crossovers, the Camaro and Corvette sports cars, SUVs like the Tahoe, plus the Volt and numerous trucks like the Silverado. Top selling Buick models include the Enclave, LaCrosse and Regal, while the bulk of Cadillac sales are comprised of the CTS sedan and SRX crossover. The GMC truck brand is best known for the Sierra pickup and Heavy Duty models, while more recently it has had success with crossovers like the Acadia and Terrain. Globally, GM also includes the Opel, Vauxhall and Holden brands, plus joint-ventures in China and the OnStar brand. After reorganization in 2009, General Motors shed the Hummer, Saab, Saturn and Pontiac brands, having eliminated Oldsmobile several years earlier.
GM was founded in 1908 by William C. Durant using the funds generated by purchasing Buick in 1904 and turning it into a success. GMC was acquired in 1909. Forced from the company after a failed takeover of Ford in 1910, he then helped create Chevrolet with Louis Chevrolet in 1911. That venture became so profitable that five years later he bought a majority stake in GM and a year later was back in charge.

2011 Buick Enclave Review
Apart from a slightly dated interior, the Enclave shows why it continues to be the vehicle that saved Buick, with plenty of luxury, size and style.
2011 Chevy Cruze 2LT Review
For a car designed to be used all over the world, the Chevy Cruze is surprisingly good at meeting key attributes demanded of a U.S. compact. But is it the best?
2011 Buick Regal Turbo Review
Adding to the competency of the new Regal is a Turbo model with plenty more right-foot fun, plus improved driving dynamics thanks to the a new feature that lets you adjust the shock settings, throttle response, shift times and steering sensitivity.
2012 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Review
It may be winning in the sales race, but the Camaro Coupe can’t compete with the Mustang when it comes to true driving performance. Drop the top, however, and the best features of the Camaro are revealed.
2011 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Review
After the success of the Z51 option package for the base Corvette last year, Chevy has decided to make the much of the Z06’s corner carving characteristics standard in a new Grand Sport model. We’re glad they did.
2011 Buick Regal Review [Video]
Lacking somewhat in comparison to rivals in the quasi-luxury segment, the Buick Regal might be better positioned as a more appealing alternative to top-trim mid-size sedans.
2011 Chevrolet Volt Review – First Drive
After tremendous hype, the Chevrolet Volt is finally here. Is it all that GM promised and will it change the automobile forever?
2011 Cadillac SRX Turbo Review
A solid competitor to the Lexus RX350 in standard V6 packaging, Cadillac now offers a turbocharged SRX with 300-hp in a bid to win over your luxury crossover sensibilities with fun.
2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV Review
Because the standard Escalade might not suit all your needs, the larger ESV model adds almost two feet of space in the same capable and luxurious package.
2011 Chevrolet HHR Review
Functional and fun to look at, we’ll miss the SS model. Still, with two modest engine offerings the HHR doesn’t just offer a unique package; it’s also an excellent alternative to the family sedan.
2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Review – First Drive
A luxury two-door that doubles as a sports car, the Cadillac CTS-V Coupe is so powerful it simply might not have any competitors.
2011 Chevrolet Cruze Review – First Drive
For decades Chevy’s compact sedans have shored up the bottom of the segment for those who simply didn’t have the cash or didn’t want to spend it on a properly built and outfitted vehicle. Replacing the Cobalt for 2011, the new Cruze wasn’t just designed to be competitive, but to win.
2010 Cadillac CTS Review
With standout looks, and everything you’d expect from a Japanese or German luxury sport sedan like a premium interior, capable handling, a powerful engine and a smooth ride, the Cadillac CTS represents a true bargain in the entry-level luxury segment.
2010 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ Review
On paper the Chevy Malibu is still a solid competitor in the mid-size sedan segment and while there’s lots to recommend, the current drivetrain lineup leaves you opting for either performance or fuel economy, but not both.
2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe Review: First Drive
It may not provide all the thrills of some German or Japanese competitors, but with a stand-out look, luxurious interior and driving experience that leans to the luxury side, some of the CTS Coupe’s best competitors might be found far north of its sub $40,000 starting price.
2011 Buick Regal: First Drive
With a comfortably long wheelbase and a taught European chassis, the new 2011 Buick Regal delivers a comfortable and luxurious yet surprisingly sporty drive.
2011 GMC Sierra Heavy Duty: First Drive
GMC Sierra buyers are a little different than Chevy Silverado customers, and GM has decided to exploit that fact, offering the new 2011 Sierra HD with more features and the high-end Denali trim across a wider range of frames.
2011 Chevrolet Silverado Heavy Duty: First Drive
Chevy’s 2011 Silverado Heavy Duty might not look all that new, but as we discover, looks can be deceiving. With a new frame, Duramax diesel engine and a long list of added features, Chevy’s big truck has what it takes to get the job done.
2010 GMC Acadia SLT-2 AWD Review
A sister-car to the Chevy Traverse, GMC’s Acadia offers good power, a comfortable ride, a well-executed interior and great looks. Fuel economy isn’t the best, but the Acadia does deliver some big truck capability with crossover driving dynamics. Plus, it’s not a minivan.
2010 Buick LaCrosse vs. 2010 Lexus ES350
With superior style and some unique extra features, Buick still comes up short of Lexus in delivering a true luxury driving experience
2010 GMC Terrain SLT-2 Review
A bold new model for GMC, the Terrain takes big truck styling and applies it to a compact model with impressive results.
2010 Cadillac SRX Luxury AWD Review
It looks better and costs less, but ultimately, in so many ways, the Cadillac SRX is a slightly less well-executed version of the Lexus RX350.
2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
With 638-hp, a thunderous exhaust note, a swollen hood and bulging fenders, the Corvette ZR1 may be an unstoppable force in the hands of a Corvette Racing god like Ron Fellows, but is it civilized enough for us mere mortals to drive?
